Default Battery recomendations

I've got a small electric trolling motor that I haven't used for a couple years.
I flashed it up and it works fine, I need a battery.

Any tips? I'll be in Red Deer on Friday.

Make a run to Costco while in Red Deer, pretty tough to beat price and warranty, they stand behind everything

I had heard that too. Got a costco battery to have a second one for times when I couldn't recharge overnight.... It leaked so I took it back and got a refund. Got my second from canadian tire (nautilus) and haven't ever had an issue.

I've got a Nautalis I run a 46# minkota, sonar and gps combo and two 100 watt spot lights.
Got it at crappy tire. Has served me well for a couple years now.
All I have to say about a warranty is it doesn't mean crap if the battery
Calves on you in the middle of the lake.

Thanks I will.

Should I tell him that I know you?

BTW I haven't forgotten you, I'm gonna try to get down there fishing in the next few days. I'll have exact directions for you and I'll check it out for a trailer spot.

My best luck for the price is energiser from Walmart. I have had bad luck with crappy tire batteries and costco but the energiser last several years.
